WOULD YOUR BUSINESS SURVIVE?
|
Would
your business survive if were suddenly hit by fire, flood, workplace
violence, or other man-made disaster?
Have you assessed your risks and taken steps to reduce
the greatest vulnerabilities?
Do you know the financial impact of temporary business interruption?
Have you developed strategies to deal with major
contingencies?
Are your people trained in handling emergencies, and have they practiced
their skills during realistic drills?
Have you realistically
tested your contingency management and disaster recovery plans? |
Did you know that:
- 43% of businesses that close their doors during a natural or
man-made disaster never reopen. Of those that do reopen, many
will be bankrupt within 2 years.
- Organizations usually cannot identify all their critical processes...
those activities which have the potential of crippling the enterprise.
- Most businesses are openly vulnerable to disruptions which could
be avoided or reduced through adequate planning.
- Insurance does not cover two of your most vulnerable business
assets.
- Preparedness efforts often result in improved business efficiency,
better management and increased productivity.
